My Internal Conflict with the Asads of QH (Edited pg 1!) - Page 5

This was one amazing post and I should thank you for that! 🤗

This was a much needed post, for me, at least because it did put alot of things in proper perspective and I realised that I totally agree with you..

You know, for so long, even after A3 came on board - I felt conflicted because I felt that this Asad was so different, so so different... Sometimes when I watch him, I'ld be like " No, Asad would'nt do that" or "This isn't it- Asad shouldn't be doing this" but I have come to a realisation that A3 is probably doing what Asad is suppose to do right now at this phase of time. You know how sometimes different perspective that you read may cause you to alter your opinons differently and I struggled with acceptance for the charecteristic potrayed by A3 as Asad.. But now, going forward, when I see A3 onscreen - I'll probably be able to understand why he does certain things the way he does probably because the relationship he has with each one has matured due to fighting life experiences face on and not shying away from them..

A1 was brillant! A2 - I wouldn't comment because I was watching for AsYa and A3 is probably getting it right. :)

I love how the story is moving right now and everything seems to be falling in place perfectly.

Thanks again! I'm not sure if I made sense though! :))

I thought I was the only one who was thinking this way but you did too😃

Asad V1 was the best - V2 had less impact.

Hey Green... Superb post!!!

When I started watching QH for Zoya's character though I knew actor playing Asad V1. Within span of 3-4 episodes I was fan of their noke-zoke . Even that time story was fast paced and gripping. All the tracks like Mangalpur, Dilshaad being shot to BNHH were superbly placed, shot and directed.

Then came the airport engagement and ASYA started witht heir superb chemistry... those falls, eye locks were mind blowing. We started getting addicted to it...

This where we and the makers went wrong... The serial which we were watching for story suddenly we started watching for ASYA. A family drama became a love story. Sorry a Clichd love story.

All become boring after Ajmer Track. All the wish-list drama was cheesy and boring. Few scenes here and there were good but overall story didn't move a bit. Epic Zoyaan was introduced to make the story move forward but the addiction is not easy to let go... So we protested for our ASYA to come back and finally makers bowed down to give it back to us. During this time Asad V1 when became Asad V2 we didn't even realised.

An OCD Asad became less concerned about his hair, always formally dressed started wearing jackets and T-Shirts. Intensity from his eyes started becoming less effective. It almost felt he was sleep walking through the scenes. We loved him then also cos we loved the character a little too much.

Suddenly one day we wake up to see now we have Asad V3. Initial shock of loosing the charisma of the character was major deterrent for people to think Asad cannot be played by anyone else. But I must admit Asad V3 is doing a superb job! He has understood the character in the shortest time span. His smile, his irritation, anger has its own flavour and much needed change.

Most importantly story is moving in right direction. Every team member is putting more efforts to make sure no one falls short of delivering the best.

I loved Asad V1... I sat throught Asad V2 cos I wanted back my Asad V1 and I am liking Asad V3 cos he is putting a lot of effort to make us love him

We loved... We lost.. and we may love again... That's the way life is...

Sorry for a long post.. but wanted to pen it down for a long time :)

Love your post!

I liked the way you divided between V1 & V2. 😆

And I absolutely agree with you about the first two parts. I guess with V3 AsYa got a fresh life, a fresh approach. Yes it took time 4 us to adjust with the V3 but we did adjust quite quick.

Yes the V1 will be dearly missed, but then I am not thinking much about it. Because I am already liking this V3 & I am already loving this AsYa. The fact that we have accepted him within 3 weeks itself says a lot. Hopefully it will get better! I love the smile of this V3. 😆

And yeah I cant wait 4 the next episode too! 😃

I totally agree! I knew there was something off about the way I felt about AsYa during the V2 phase and here you have all my answers 😆 the problem for me was that I went on a vacation during this V1-V2 change and so it never really made sense to me (I had missed moths of episodes and thought it would be easier to not watch the episodes I missed). and I think it wa that point on where QH started getting a bit boring for me. I mean I loved AsYa and still do, but with that I also liked their fights, teir way to make it up to each other, all without admitting that they loved each other. idk maybe it was the innocence? during V2 I was excited for a few days and then I started getting bored and now, although RaQesh is doing a fabulous job, no one could bring Asad V1 back

Welcome back!

I felt exactly the same.

Asad V1 was phenomenal and very well developed by CVs and exceptionally portrayed by the actor but some where down the line that Asad V1 got lost and no doubt it is more than just hair. In the 3rd quarter of the year, even before the actor was replaced, I felt as if a different person was portraying Asad. Storytelling for sure went down the hill but there was more than story telling that went wrong with Asad and for which, we now have a name 'Asad V2'. I just didn't feel the connection anymore.

I had no expectations from Asad V3 based on the thought process that if the actor who brought Asad to life couldn't sustain the charm then how can a different actor do justice to the role. However, Asad V3 is growing on me and I am pleasantly surprised by Raquesh.

Asad V3 is not yet comparable to Asad V1 but 10 folds better than Asad V2. As story telling is getting better now, hopefully Asad V3 will explore his full potential.

Nevertheless, Asad V2 made it easy for me to accept the replacement and I started enjoying the QH again. Classic ASYA charm with Asad V1 holds a special place in my heart but ASYA with Asad V3 has its own charm.
